While trying to return to his home watch how Israeli Occupation Army
violates this Palestinian man, humiliates him , and treats him as if he
is not a human being who deserves to be treated with his God given
rights !

Upon returning home this Hebron resident passed through the military
checkpoint in Tal- Ramieda ( a place of constant harassment, torture,
and daily human rights violations of the Palestinian people )
where he must pass through security and live as a prisoner in his own
home . But today that was not enough to inflict upon a people whose only
crime to this Occupation Army is that they are Palestinian , the army
forced and subject this man to a search, and also stripped of his
clothes violating his privacy , and forced to walk home with his clothes
not on his body but in his hands .
This is the daily suffering by the Israeli Occupation Army. Day by day
we watch the situation worsen and the Occupation always avoid
consequences for this brutal racist system they have built
  



At midnight in Hebron Palestinian residents gathered and sat outside of
the Itamar Occupation checkpoint in Tel- Rumeida to protest against the
extreme racist unlawful , illicit and prejudice treatment of
Palestinians in Hebron which by the day becomes worse , such as the
humiliating procedures of being subject to full body searches and
forcefully being stripped of their clothes and their human rights .Since
2017 the Israeli Occupation military imposes new and more extreme
systematic “ laws” on the Palestinian population . Everyday we watch
more and more of the very little human rights they have left be taken
away .
Not because they did anything wrong , only because they are Palestinian .

Conversations about Israel/Palestine are often charged and challenging.
Many families and friends avoid the subject to keep the peace and worry
that even a slight criticism of Israel can result in being labeled
anti-Semitic. At JVP-NYC we want to create a space where we can discuss
this subject, with respect and active listening, with the aim to build
relationships and understanding. Wresting With Zionism is a collection
of stories from people from range of backgrounds who share their
evolving relationships to Zionism.

Does a joint Israeli-Palestinian memorial ceremony commemorating the victims of both sides creates symmetry of bereavement?
